J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Harness (San Francisco, CA) en nov. 2017
Entretien
1 phone interview - DS, Algorithm, Passed.
4 rounds onsite - DS, Algorithm, project deep dive. All went well, gave optimal answers.
After several days, the recruiter came back said, they want another round of interview with the cofounder.. I spent another two hours talking to him and then got rejected from him after a few days. :(
Rejection reason is interview result is good, but position is filled, NO more headcount.. I guess it's not the real reason. :)
Anyway, it's very disappointed after going through such a long interview process, especially the interview went pretty well.. After this, I got offers from another five big tech companies in bay area and found their interview process is much easier. :( Sigh..

As per the recruiter - HM Screen, DSA, LLD, HLD, Final HM. Horrible experience, interviews were rescheduled 7-8 times total, then got paired with interviews not even relevant to the role. The interviewer themselves said that the round will be rescheduled but they just ghosted me. It felt like a cook interviewing for a pizza-making job but being asked how to make noodles instead.
Later got to know that they rejected me in that mismatched round. I guess the recruiter messed up and ghosted me. Total time waste, did not expect such unprofessionalism and disorganised process from Harness.

The interview process was quite bad for the first round itself. It was rescheduled three times, and for the next round, it just kept getting rescheduled. I have not heard anything yet. The process started around Dec-Jan. After Feb, HR ghosted me without any result. I had a very bad experience

The interview process was very smooth and well-structured. It focused strongly on real-life implementations rather than just theoretical knowledge. The interviewers were highly knowledgeable and encouraged in-depth, meaningful discussions. There were two hiring manager rounds—one at the beginning of the process to assess alignment with the company, and another at the end, which was a techno-managerial discussion, one DSA, one LLD & one HLD.
